Introduction of self to class
Background knowledge: working in table groups create a graphic organizer of what you know about bacteria already. Include: Size, Shapes, Parts, Reproduction, Respiration, Motility, Uses, Examples, etc.
View video: understanding bacteria and update our mind maps
Complete the study guide as you view the powerpoint notes on prokaryotes BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE VIDEO LINKS
Read ch 19 section 2 in table groups. Be sure to PREVIEW the section (look over pictures and tables, review headings and bold faced words) then work together to read the section out loud and complete the worksheets

project
YOU NEED TEACHER APPROVAL OF THE FILM BEFORE YOU BEGIN
-Select a film to view that has an infectious disease central to its plot (examples include: I am legend, the Crazies, Contagion, Outbreak, And the Band Played On)
-create a timeline of the video plot, a character study for the main character and a report on the disease being followed (it's origination, method of spread, symptoms, impact on the human body, impact on society, economic impact, etc). You will also identify 5 points of fiction in the movie and their corresponding facts from science. Check out the webpage: http://www.bt.cdc.gov/agent/smallpox/disease/movies.asp for an example of what this looks like.
review the characteristics and functions of bacteria and viruses
complete the compare and contrast venn diagram for bacteria and viruses
prepare for your Virus and Bacteria TEST
